Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion with Jewish-Christian roots. It has no creed. Instead, we have our seven principles, which affirm the worth of human beings, advocate freedom of belief and the search for advancing truth, and strive to provide a warm, open, supportive community for people who believe that ethical living is the supreme witness of religion. Our community is also guided by the Covenant of Good Relations that we have with each other.

Unitarian Universalism (UU) draws from many sources:

* Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
* Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;
* Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
* Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
* Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
* Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.

The seven principles, these sources of faith and our covenant are the backbone of our religious community.
